Behind the Scenes: Tristan und Isolde

Esa-Pekka Salonen and Peter Sellars’s Tristan und Isolde, with video art by Bill Viola, was premièred in Los Angeles in 2004 and has subsequently been revived in Paris and New York to great acclaim.
Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Philharmonia Orchestra brought the production to the UK and other European venues, and this exclusive behind-the-scenes footage shows just how complex a production this is.
